Endoneurium

Right!

Endometrium , a layer of delicate loose connective tissue, has the function of supporting and protecting nerve fibers in the nerve. This is the innermost layer of protective connective tissue in the nerve.

The endoneurium is a continuation of the diaphragm extending inward from the nerve bundle membrane. A polysaccharide network (glycocalyx) is used as the matrix, and the fiber connective tissue network with thin bundles is mainly composed of longitudinal collagen fibers.

There is a dense network of microvessels in the endometrium, as well as lymphatic vessels.

Endoneurium can also be found elsewhere, such as in transitional zones in the auditory nerve, around Schwann cells on the periphery.
